Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 286 Military Industry
After the matter has been explained, even if it is completed, Zhu Houzhao's attention will not be concentrated here, and he has nothing to do when he is idle. He starts to follow the people from the Bingzheng Bureau to wander around.Of course, Zhu Houzhao, the prince, was just wandering around. Others were really working, looking for suitable places to build factories, and then many people were looking for coal and steel deposits.

Of course, the Bingzhan Bureau also began to accept military craftsmen from Liaodong. You must know that there are also many military craftsmen in various armies.

These people are also artisans, and most of them are responsible for repairing and sorting out ordnance, and forging some relatively simple weapons, such as knives and guns.Of course, most of the time, they are reduced to the personal servants of the generals, helping the generals to build some things. As the saying goes, they are doing private work, such as the iron stoves that have become more popular in recent years.

The generals in charge of the artisan households will get a deal. These artisan households are the ones who build these iron stoves. There must be wages, but only a little, which is pitiful.

The helpers are military households. Anyway, you are idle when you are idle. In fact, many military households still want to take advantage of the winter when they are not farming, hunt for prey, or chop some firewood to sell to subsidize their families.But this is not the case. You work for the officers. In this way, these artisan households and military households have completely become the personal resources of the generals.

This is definitely going to be stripped off, and there is no suspense at all. The first thing Zhu Houzhao did when he came to Liaodong was to strip off the craftsmen.

The importance of professional military manufacturing to a country is self-evident. The land of Liaodong is naturally suitable for the development of military manufacturing, especially in the case of poor transportation conditions. There are coal and iron ore here. It can also be used as a base for going north, and once developed, it can also drive employment in Liaodong.

The only thing to worry about is that local military generals are likely to rebel if they master the military industry. This is why Zhu Houzhao wants to spin off the military industry. Independent operations can avoid this to the greatest extent.

Of course, nothing in this world is 100% safe, but you can’t give up because of choking. This is something that must be done. As for rebellion, it should be the extreme decline of centralization. This kind of military industry is also the same rebellion, there is no difference.Who knows what the future will look like, do the present.

When the craftsmen were stripped off and dispatched to the Liaodong Brigade Bureau, there were naturally some people who were dissatisfied. Who were the dissatisfied people?Naturally, those generals.

These craftsmen are their source of income, and now they are stripped out, wouldn't that cut off their source of income?Then the choice comes, what can you do?Looking for advice from His Highness the Crown Prince?I'm sorry, but you can't even see the crown prince. How about impeaching the crown prince?You try it, maybe if you don't get to the capital, your head will be gone.

Not satisfied?Hold on, or you will rebel and kill the prince. However, no one dares to do that. If you really do that, you will probably have your head chopped off to claim the credit.

While Zhu Houzhao was busy stripping the artisan households, news spread from other places in Liaodong that His Royal Highness wanted to investigate Guangning Guard, and the entire Guangning Guard was panicked for a while.Chief Soldier Han Fu can be said to be in a state of desperation these days. Everyone came to him with only one purpose, and that is your way of thinking. If something is really found out, then why don't we all die?

At the beginning, Han Fu kept comforting everyone, it's okay, it's okay, don't worry, His Royal Highness won't care about everyone, but who would believe it!
At this time, I don't know which bastard spread the rumors. Han Fu and the three deputy commanders are not a big problem, but who can tell the following people?For a while, everyone became more chaotic, and they all ran to Han Fu's place, crying so miserablely, Mr. General Soldier, you can't ignore us, what's more, you even threatened us, if you ignore us, be careful that we directly Shake you out, and everyone will die together.

Han Fu was one of the first and two seniors, but there was really no good way. Under such circumstances, he came alone.

"My lord, the great master is here!" The personal guard came to Han Fu's side and said with a bow.

The Grand Master is here?Han Fu was taken aback, what is his elder brother doing here at this time?The hereditary generals should have been given to the boss, but Han Dong was not a direct son, so this son was given to Han Fu.The relationship between the two brothers is also harmonious, one is an official and the other runs the family business, the two can say that they hit it off, and the Han family has become a big family in recent years.

What is big brother doing here at this time?Han Fu was very anxious in his heart, but he still said, "Go and invite the Elder Master in!"

Not long after, someone came in from the outside. Looking carefully at their appearance, Han Dong and Han Fu still look alike, but they are older than Han Fu.Seeing his elder brother, although Han Fu was anxious in his heart, Han Fu tried his best to keep his tone polite and squeezed out a smile: "Brother, why are you here? But what happened at home?"

Han Dong smiled and said, "Come and see the second brother!" He looked around as he spoke, and it was obvious that he was going to talk about something important, so let them stay away.

Han Fu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, and the guard who was standing not far away turned and walked out, beckoning a few people to guard not far away.

After everyone had gone out, Han Dong said: "Brother Wei, I have something to discuss with you today. This matter is related to the future of our Han family. If it is done well, it will not only be of great benefit to our Han family." , Even if it is for your second brother's official career, it will be of great benefit, once it is done well, maybe the second brother will be able to rise to the top this time."

After hearing Han Dong's words, Han Fu was taken aback for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "Brother, little brother is already in a state of desperation, you should speak up if you have anything to say!"

Hearing Han Fu's words, Han Dong laughed immediately: "Second brother, don't worry, if you do well at this time, the second brother's dilemma will naturally be solved in a moment." Said Han Dong's expression was very confident, Seeing Han Fu looking at him curiously, Han Dong continued, "Second Brother, you also know about the business at home, and you should also know about the Qiqizhai, right?"

Han Fu nodded, and then said, "What does this have to do with this matter?"

"Second brother, I'm afraid you don't know that this Qiqizhai is backed by Yang Lian and Yang Gonggong of the Huanyi Bureau. This Yang Lian and Yang Gonggong are the sons of Yang Gonggong of Dongchang and also the confidant of His Royal Highness. At the time, His Royal Highness When I went down to Yangzhou, I followed this little Eunuch Yang, and after returning from Yangzhou, this little Eunuch Yang became the eunuch of the Huanyi Bureau."
